CORE Bike Fit · Topsham, Exeter
The bike fitting process
Time to listen, assess and test—so every change has a reason, and you understand the result.
A good bike fit is a conversation as well as an assessment. Jon works through your needs step by step, using your feedback alongside measurements and observation. The tools and time involved depend on the fit service you choose.
01 · Before your visit
Tell us about you
Expect a separate email with a pre-fit questionnaire. Please complete it before your bike fit so Jon can understand your riding, goals and any issues you want to discuss.
02 · Start with a conversation
Set the priorities
We discuss your cycling history, typical rides, current equipment and what you would like to improve. There is time to ask questions.
03 · Understand your movement
Look beyond the bike
An off-bike assessment helps us understand how you move and what may influence your position. We also consider your feet, shoes and cleats.
04 · Establish a starting point
See you pedal
We record and observe your current position. Video and fitting tools help us assess how you interact with the bike.
05 · Test the changes
Adjust together
We explore changes to your contact points and position, checking how each feels. Depending on the service, this can include the fit jig or saddle pressure mapping.
06 · Leave with a plan
Understand what’s next
We explain the final position, record the changes and discuss any recommendations. Follow-up support is provided according to the service booked.
What should I bring?
For a fit on your current bike, bring a clean bike, your usual cycling shoes and kit, and any footbeds or orthotics you use. Bring water and a towel, plus your glasses if you normally ride in them. Your booking email explains anything specific to your appointment.
For Frame Finder, bring your cycling shoes and kit, and details of any bikes you are considering. You do not need to buy a bike before the assessment.
Your feedback makes the difference
Please tell Jon what feels better, what feels unfamiliar and what still needs attention. A position needs to work for you on the road or trail, as well as in the studio.
